A Guide to Microcomputer Programs in the California Community Colleges.

Dimsdale, Jeffrey M., Ed.

Designed to assist faculty in California community colleges in sharing microcomputer programs they have written, this guide provides abstracts for 89 teacher-developed microcomputer programs that can be obtained for non-commercial use. Each entry contains information on the title and author of the program, the institution of the author, the computer for which the program was written, the programming language used, peripherals needed, how to obtain the program, and an abstract describing the program's content. The entries are organized in the following categories: (1) agriculture, biological science, and natural resources (8 abstracts); (2) business and management (1 abstract); (3) consumer education and home economics (1 abstract); (4) fine and applied arts (2 abstracts); (5) humanities (16 abstracts); (6) mathematics and physical sciences (20 abstracts); (7) interdisciplinary studies (1 abstract); (8) administrative uses (13 abstracts); (9) architecture, engineering, and environmental design (no abstracts); (10) communications, computers, information and library science (7 abstracts); (11) education, psychology, and physical education (6 abstracts); (12) health and commercial services (8 abstracts); (13) law, military science, and public affairs (no abstracts); (14) social science (1 abstract); and (15) apprenticeship (no abstracts). The abstracts are indexed by keywords and author, and an address list is provided for participating colleges. (AYC)
